Perfect spot

Great place to stay. Hosts were very easy to communicate with and very friendly. The house had everything you might need and then some! We were able to walk to restaurants that were close by and we used to bikes to explore the island. We will definitely be back!!!

Exactly as advertised

What is listed and what is included in the reviews is spot on. This is a great property that is close to the beach. Almost anything you need for your stay was included - kitchen, towels, beach gear (including umbrellas and wagon which were a huge plus for us), quality TV selections, soap, shampoo.....the list goes on and on. The cupcakes and flowers were such a nice touch. We definitely look forward to staying here again on future visits to the island.

Sister’s birthday celebration

My sister and I had a wonderful time during our stay. The property was very clean, organized, comfortable, furnished nicely, and located within walking distance to the beach. Our hosts communicated with us along the way and provided many extras that made our stay there relaxing. We were greeted with a delicious chocolate cake on the kitchen table! Thank you!!

Couldn't be more pleased

Marcia and Chris are fabulous and attentive hosts who only want you to enjoy your stay to the fullest. The lodging was just as advertised, extremely clean and comfortable with a new kitchen, and just a short walk to the ocean. My husband and I will not hesitate to return the next time we are in the area. Rob & Leesa

Feels like home but at the Beach

Cake by the Ocean lives up to the name! Unit was spotless at check in. Our hosts had seemingly thought of everything. Location is perfect - a very short walk to the dunes. A quiet, cozy place to relax after a day of fun at a the beach. Whole family had an excellent experience!

Great experience!

Our stay at Cake by the Ocean was just wonderful! Marcia and Chris were great hosts, and we especially enjoyed the personal touches like the fresh flowers and yummy cupcakes waiting for us upon our arrival. We would definitely visit again and highly recommended these accommodations just a short walk from the beach.

Perfect for a shorter beach trip

Our family of 4 enjoyed Cake by the Ocean for a 4 day trip. Our schedule did not allow for a full week so this place was perfect. Very clean. Lots of kitchen items. K cups, cooking spray. Plenty of games and Towels, chairs for the beach were even provided. My kids also had a some special treats waiting for them to help celebrate one of their birthdays. Great trip! Hope to go back.

Great place!

Place is as advertised and you can tell the owners take pride in the property. It is one of the cleanest properties that we have stayed in. There is a lot of attention to detail.. spices for cooking, beach chairs and cart, games, extra chairs and pillows. Also very nice that each area and bedroom has its own AC unit (quite ductless units). It is a very close walk to beach and a few places to each. We plan on coming again next year.

So cozy!!!!!

We absolutely loved this place!!!! The space was exceptional, EVERYTHING, literally everything we needed was provided! They even let us use their bikes!!!! Very clean, well kept! Owners are very nice and accommodating:) would definitely stay here again! If you don’t like crowded, commercialized beaches this is the place for you. Restaurants, ice cream, close by. The beach is only a short walk (4 minutes) away from the house. They provide wagon, beach chairs, umbrella, and sand toys for the kids! When I say you don’t need anything but your clothes, I mean it! Thank you Chris and Marcia!

Perfect place for a short family trip

We had a great time staying at Cake by the Ocean. The small conveniences that were there for us to use, made a big impact on our trip. Our girls were thrilled to have small little gifts waiting for them on their beds, and the cupcakes and flowers awaiting us, really made us feel special. The location was perfect. Just a short walk to the beach and several restaurants as well.

First trip to Oak Island

We had been searching for somewhere to stay for a week that did not break the bank and not a so called “dump” either . I had been searching different areas when I came across Chris and Marcia’s Cake by the Ocean and all I can say is this was an absolute God Send !! Every question we asked from beginning to finish was answered snd no time wasted and just like that , we were Booked with our own Private lil piece of Heaven . Clean , spacious, And treated like royalty . These two know how to roll out the red carpet . We are Coming Back that is ,, if they will have us . We are in love with this island and this rental . Thank you again Chris and Marcia for your recommendations on everything. Outstanding vacation because of your gorgeous home and you !!

About the host

Your host

I've lived in North Carolina for the last 40 years and my wife is a native. We moved to Oak Island 5 years ago after vacationing primarily at Pawley's Island over the years. BUT, once we found Oak Island we knew we had to move here. We love this 1973 brick home. We even moved from our big, piling house near the intercostal to move to Yaupon Beach because of the vibe.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, etc. :>) This cozy lower floor unit is conveniently located close to everything in Yaupon Beach. Koko Cabana and the the pier and The Lazy Turtle are right down the road to the left - no major roads to cross. Walking in the other direction there's Thomas’ Drug Store, Island Jo's and Shagger Jacks.

We love the area so much we live in the unit upstairs - but each unit is separate with no connection between them.
